3 key battles that can determine PSG and PSG Inter in the Champions League final
The 2025 Champions League final is expected to be entertained in the form of previous European football annual performances.
Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan are two high-octane teams who should have the chance to lift the most iconic trophy offered by club football on Saturday night in Munich.
They each have huge advantages that the other will have to resolve and fight back, which will become the key that will ultimately depend on, potentially defining the battlefield.
In the end, there is only one who can win and win the European Championship.
A wide range of areas will be key in the process of deciding the finals.
Whether it’s making bait runs think of others creating space or becoming the sharpest attack point, both teams are very utilizing guards and defenders in creative games.
This is easily a case of attack and is the best form of defense, especially on the left side of Inter and PSG, where Denzel Dumfries and Nuno Mendes will face each other.
Dumfries is a performance player, five of five of seven goals against Barcelona in the semi-finals. He will hope to move forward and have more of the same impact again in the final, which can also be fixed in Mendes. However, if PSG men prevail, it may be the opposite effect and will be beneficial to PSG.
These fronts will also be drawn on the other side for Achraf Hakimi and Federico DiMarco.
While enjoying the best season of his career, Ousmane Dembele is not a typical center forward and will not be able to interact with Inter's centre-back with someone like Erling Haaland.
Their key is to track the Frenchman’s movements and prevent him from receiving balls with space, usually less involved in the general stacking than his teammates until he has the chance to take it out. He also won't occupy the same space all night long, probably interchange with other spaces in the PSG frontline, so understand that, not be confused by who is picky.
There won't be 37-year-old Francesco Acerbi responsible for Dembele, but Yann Aurel Bisseck or Alessandro Bastoni will certainly be committed to limiting his influence.
It would be shocking if Gianluigi Donnarumma isn't in the Yashin Trophy behind the season and the Best FIFA Men's Goalkeeper title. CIES Football Observatory already considers him the best in the world.
So far, the Italian giant has proved his worth and then offered some value to PSG during the European adventure, making a lot of massive savings throughout the knockout stage. After the semi-final against Arsenal, a newspaper headline said that Donnarumma's save will “hide” Bukayo Saka, what that might be for the Gunners.
Even if Inter creates opportunities, they still have to beat Donnarumma if they want to win a fourth Champions League title.
